this is the response I was given.
" The main reason is that there are 4 bans under sof2 in linked guids, we will normally ban anyone that has bans in other games, the rationale being that, if you cheat in one game, very good possibility that you will cheat in another." this logic is understandable if there were grounds for it at the time. the ban doesn't bother me, its the excuse they gave that does. as for the incident mentioned I have done everything I could to live it down. but everybody has things that they have done that they are ashamed of.
maybe {POW} should look at the servers that their admins frequent (knife only) before they stir that pot as it were. but that isn't what this forum is for.
